Abstract
Polyester monofilaments having very high strength and low elongation also at elevated temperature and being resistant against tire rubber are obtained from polyesters having an intrinsic viscosity of more than 0.67 and terminal carboxy groups of less than 25 milliequivalents/kg by spinning into a water bath, a first drawing in a water bath having a temperature of from 70.degree. to 100.degree. C in a ratio of from 1 : 4.0 to 1 : 6.0, a second drawing at a temperature being a maximum 15.degree. C below the melting point to attain a total drawing ratio of from 1 : 6.0 to 1 : 7.5, and subsequent setting at a temperature being a maximum 15.degree. C below the melting point without allowing a shrinkage.
